In reply to the discussion: Judge denies request to temporarily block DOGE's mass firings, access to data [View all]BumRushDaShow
(150,352 posts)42. I agree that it is all up in the air for what the SCOTUS will do
as they are usually predictable, but not always. It will depend on how much they think their livelihoods are secure (not very) within the world that they created by unleashing this monster.
Based on the other post in this thread (taken from the ruling text) - apparently there is also the issue of the states requesting a "TRO" (for an "emergency" ) versus requesting an "Injunction", which would basically do the same thing but for a longer term.
The time it takes to go through the courts can vary too and it ends up being the luck of the draw to get immediate stays and those who have the resources to avail of the delays ARE what criminal justice reform advocates continually and endlessly decry.

In this case, the "STATE" is NOT the same as an individual "person" - it's those unique "legal definitions"

Sounds to me like she was being much too strict on what is required to "clearly show" irreparable harm.

It's not like she's shown herself a fan of this mob. She'd have granted it if she could.
